September empties aka all good things come to an end

Hi fairies,

I don’t
know why but my empties box has been full of products for the last few months
and I’m really happy about it! I won’t mention everything because I don’t want
this post to be too long, let’s start without further ado!

I really
enjoyed Hask shampoo and conditioner, here you can read more about them, they
have a nice smell, they’re gentle, nourishing,a little of both goes a long way
and they’re not expensive! I’d like to repurchase them.

Kiko
sunscreen is a staple for me, this one is not available anymore, they renewed
their sunblock line but I love it as it’s easy to apply, it’s not greasy, it’s
scent free and it’s lightweight.

I used this
Alona Schechter day cream as a night cream and it was quite nourishing for my
skin type: I had to apply a tiny bit of it else it wouldn’t get absorbed. I
think it’s a good product for mature skin and very dry skin, not the best
choice for oily skin like mine but I made it work nonetheless.

I love the
smell of this World of beauty bath gel, the only downside is it was very runny
and I spilled it in the shower everytime I used it. It was almost impossible,
at least for me, not to waste some product and that was a pity because I liked
it.

This was
one of my favourite creamy eyeshadow, it’s a cream to powder eyeshadow to be
precise, I used it a lot especially in summer because it was quick to apply,
the color pay off was really good, it didn’t crease and it lasted all day!

This eye
contour cream has lasted for months, I thought I would have never run out of it
but eventually I did! I needed just a tiny bit of it, it was moisturizing,
lightweight, it didn’t do miracles but it kept my eye contour area hydrated and
that was what I was looking for.

I’ve
mentioned how much I love kiko makeup fixer in the past and I still love it to
these days because it helps my makeup to stay flawless all day and it also
keeps shine at bay, so I’ve already repurchased it!

I didn’t
like this hair mask, it actually didn’t do anything for my hair while I was
expecting deep conditioning and soft and silky hair…but none of that happened,
it’s like an average hair conditioner, nothing more than that…very
disappointing.

I finished
this gorgeous Kiko highlighter, the texture was almost creamy, it was very
pigmented, there weren’t any glitters in it, it stayed on all day and I’m sad
it’s not available anymore because I would have definitely repurchased it if I
could.

Another
Kiko product I finished is the soft focus compact mineral foundation: I use as
face powder even though is a foundation and it works great for me as a setting
powder, it minimizes pores, it’s not cakey and it keeps shine at bay even when
it’s hot and muggy! It’s not the first time I buy it and I’ve already
repurchased it, it’s high quality and it’s not expensive!

A quick
mention for Lycia anti odorant, you know it’s the only deodorant I use and you
always see a tube in my empties box, it works great!

Mac prep
and prime face primer was a bit disappointing not because it isn’t a good
primer, but because it’s not the primer I look for : I look for a mattifying
primer that minimizes pores, and this one just helps makeup last a bit longer
but it’s not mattifying and it doesn’t minimize pores. It’s a good primer if
you’re looking for a hydrating one that feels very light on your skin, it’s not
the best one for oily skin though.

I also
finished a bunch of eye products, such as two kiko long lasting stick
eyeshadows,that aren’t my favourite to be honest: they dried out fast and I’ve
always closed them properly so it’s not because of that. On the other hand I
love E.L.F. brow gel, it’s the right color for me, it’s not too red, it’s easy
to apply, it lasts all day and it looks natural, it’s definitely a winner just
like Kiko eyebrow gel, which is transparent and I used it on top of brow
pencils to set them!

I didn’t
like the body shop softening cleansing gel: first of all the smell was
unpleasant, and second of all it wasn’t a product to write home about, it did
its job but there are better ones on the market.

Do you
remember the Too Faced Selfie palette? I bought it but to be honest I wouldn’t
buy it again. It’s not a bad product, powders were actually fine but there was
a bit of fall out, it just wasn’t the
best choice for my skin tone: the only powder I could use was the lavender one,
the yellow one was too dark for me, it looked very yellow when I applied it,
and the bronzer was fine but I don’t use bronzers much . basically I bought it
because of the packaging, I should have read more reviews before purchasing it.

I loved Too
Faced Absolutely Flawless concealer, it doesn’t crease in my under eye area and
it guarantees full coverage, it’s definitely one of the best concealers I’ve
ever tried, my favourite along with Bo-ing!

Too Faced
primed and poreless face powder is a good product, I used it as primer and as
setting powder and it’s very mattifying, the only issue I have with it is when
I perspire on my face it gets white and it doesn’t look good at all!
